Eliot Spitzer on Government Reform

Former Democrat

Submit a reform package for full public campaign financing

We will submit a reform package to replace the weakest campaign finance laws in the nation with the strongest. It will lower contribution limits dramatically, disallow special interests to circumvent these limits, and sharply reduce contributions from lobbyists and companies that do business with the state. Full public financing must be the ultimate goal of our reform effort. By cutting off the demand for private money, we will cut off the special-interest influence that comes with it.
